- The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.
| 1- Which one of the following is not a prime number? | ||||||||
91 is divisible by 7. So, it is not a prime number. |
| 2- Which of the following is a prime number ? | ||||||||
Clearly, 97 is a prime number. |
| 3- The sum of first five prime numbers is: | ||||||||
Required sum = (2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11) = 28. Note: 1 is not a prime number. |
| 4-The smallest 3 digit prime number is: | ||||||||
The smallest 3-digit number is 100, which is divisible by 2. 100 is not a prime number. 101 < 11 and 101 is not divisible by any of the prime numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11. 101 is a prime number. Hence 101 is the smallest 3-digit prime number. |
| 5- If the number 481 * 673 is completely divisible by 9, then the smallest whole number in place of * will be: | ||||||||||
Sum of digits = (4 + 8 + 1 + x + 6 + 7 + 3) = (29 + x), which must be divisible by 9. x = 7. |
| 6- On dividing 2272 as well as 875 by 3-digit number N, we get the same remainder. The sum of the digits of N is: | ||||||||
Clearly, (2272 – 875) = 1397, is exactly divisible by N. Now, 1397 = 11 x 127 The required 3-digit number is 127, the sum of whose digits is 10. |
